The pond at the end of East Rd. is abloom with lilies.

Yesterday was the Amherst Fourth-of-July parade.  Congressman Charlie Bass and Governor John Lynch were there, but no nationwide politicians this year.  Uncle Sam was there on stilts (custom-designed with over 700 parts), and the First New Hampshire Regiment.  The Souhegan Valley Chorus had a booth on the town green for publicity.  About eight of us were there and sang songs, including "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight."
